Unicorn Theater

Written by: Dana Simpson

First line: What is a best friend?

Why you should read this book: This is another complete story arc that further explores the bounds of friendship and ways individuals relate to those in their communities. Apparently tired of not practicing the piano all the time, Phoebe opts to spend the summer at theater camp instead of band camp, and Sue and Marigold will be there, too, but Marigold bring her sister, Florence, and Sue is spending so much time with the lake monster, Ringo, that Phoebe feels left out. Fortunately, Max is attending a science camp down the road and running tech for the plays, and Phoebe manages to learn some valuable lessons about having more than one friend, not holding grudges, and music theater.

Why you shouldn't read this book: You don't allow your friends to have other friends.
